We are nearly a week into the school summer holidays here and as the weather has not really been kind so far, we have been keeping occupied with mostly indoor activities...
Miss M is very keen on reading at the moment and the books above are her current favourites...
Playing with Hama beads...
Colouring with an all important snack and drink to hand...
Making pasta necklaces...
Planning what we are going to make from this lovely magazine given to Miss M by my mum as a little treat last weekend....
Doing Lego together. I have no idea why the horse is visiting the cafe though...
So lots of things to keep us busy, still hoping for some sunshine though!
Thank you so very much for the lovely comments on the ice cream blanket. I was really quite overwhelmed, and am often amazed at the loveliness of the blogging community. So really, thank you and welcome to my new readers, it is lovely to have you here.

I love your posts. Simply lovely things going on.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty photos. I hope you enjoy the summer.
ReplyDeleteLovely rainy day activities with rainbow brights all around ... Bee xx
ReplyDeleteGosh our girlies are very similar!!! X
ReplyDeleteWe're on countdown to holidays now, and our house will indeed look quite similar to yours! Cx
ReplyDeleteWe had sooooo many of those fairy books, bet there are some still lurking somewhere, I'm sure they greed on the shelves! Hope the weather picks up for you! :) x
ReplyDeleteAwww looks like you are busy! Lots of fun activities :)
ReplyDeleteLooks like lots of fun, hopefully the sun's coming out for the weekend.

Looks like you are having such a lovely time. The first week of the hols is always great as it is just so lovely to spend time together and then we all get a bit titchy and need good weather and other things to brighten up the days, so I really hope that the weather will improve for you. I know the forecast is looking a little more optimistic. Enjoy the lego and some quality time. xoxo
ReplyDeleteLooks like it's going to be a fun summer at your house - and I love that the horse gets to go to the cafe too! Do you remember the whiskey advert with the strap line "you can take a white horse anywhere"?
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the sunshine & have a great weekend,
Xx
Maybe the horse is thirsty too. Looks like you've been having a lovely time together, my daughter loved the Fairy books too and was so thrilled to find one with her name on it. Fingers crossed for a warmer, sunny weekend :) xx
ReplyDeleteI love the way your life mirrors parts of mine! We are in the thick of rainbow fairy books and in that edition of Ruby makes both girls made the sunset tea light holder AND little M has just asked her uncle for Lego friends for her birthday present!!! spooky. We are yet to venture into hama beads - they look like they would drive me crackers picking them up off the floor from a 3 year old all the time. Always great to check in Jo x
ReplyDeleteLovely kiddies zone - I like it - enjoy these times for they are over much too quickly.
ReplyDeleteAnd please do give that poor horse a drink and some oats for he's travelled a long way in search of them!
Wonderful holidays to you and yours!
Joy xo
Ooh lots of girlie things, lovely! Having teenage boys now I do miss the times when we did crafty things together. I've heard the weather is to warm up a bit soon(?) fingers crossed :-)
ReplyDeleteSummer holidays are looking brilliant. Can't wait for my daughter to break up for the hols now. My daughter also loves the rainbow magic books. The pasta necklace is so cute x
ReplyDeleteYou're lucky to have broken up already, we still have at least a couple of weeks here before we do. Hope the weather is better for you, it is lovely here today Julie x
ReplyDeleteOh, you make me want to be 6 again! It's so lovely that you do all of these activities together. My daughter is still enjoying doing decopatch so we had a craft afternoon earlier this week which was so nice (and my daughter is in her 20s!). x
ReplyDeleteI think my 6 year old daughter would quite like to have a playdate with yours! Such similar tastes in reading and crating. I'll look out for that Ruby magazine, it might be a good one for the summer hols. x
